We live in a world where beautiful means slim, and although nobody wants to be fat, we look around us and we wonder why there are so many overweight. Women feel the highest pressure of all, and even during pregnancy they are constantly worrying about the way they look. Smile, new mom! Put your hands around your belly! This is a special time of your life and you should treasure it! Instead of looking in the mirror or using the scale to monitor your pregnancy weight gain, be positive!
It will take some will power to overcome prejudices but if you care enough for your baby you'll manage. If you used to be fit and active, you can stay that way but without making mistakes and harming your baby. Plan your diet carefully, keep it nutritional and tasty. Counting calories is a good thing when you indulge in sweets, French fries or a cheeseburger, but I'm talking about real food here. Whether cooked at home or at the restaurant, meals have to contain plenty of nutrients and no raw meat or eggs.
You can choose to cook your gourmet recipes and you'll be much more in control of your pregnancy weight gain. You have to be aware that weight gain is absolutely normal and natural during pregnancy. And if it does not happen, then it is a warning sign. Once you find out you're pregnant do not get rummaging all those negative thoughts about how you are going to swell like a balloon and not be able to wear your favorite jeans. There are much more important and serious things going on, and they are priorities. Every mom confirms and reveals the miracle of life, and we should all awe to that!
You are blessed and this is how you should feel! There are positive things to recognize in pregnancy weight gain. The fact that you put on a few pounds indicates that your body is transforming so as to provide all the nutrients to the baby. The metabolism slows down, there is more blood circulating in the system, the amniotic fluid keeps the baby protected and your tissues retain water. All these contribute to pregnancy weight gain considerably.
So, from what I've told you here: you can be grateful for the gift of life that has been given to you or you can lament about your body shape and how ugly you're going to get. Of course there will be obstacles, tough times, embarrassing moments, but they are trifles in comparison with the beauty of growing your child and finally meeting him/her at the end of the nine-month journey!
